    WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION 
        
        Everyone knew Clara was in love with Griffin, the most popular and perfect kid at school - so no one understands why her older sister, Emily, murdered him. 
         
                                                                              *****
         
        Golden boy Griffin Tomlin is found dead, floating in his pool, the morning after his family's Labor Day party. Clara Portfield's older sister, Emily, is arrested for his murder. No one knows why she killed him - except for Clara. The mystery is uncovered in dual timelines: In the present, Clara, burdened by a heavy secret, struggles with the aftermath of the murder. And In a series of flashbacks, the events that brought Clara, Emily and Griffin together are revealed: a crush, an obsession and a shocking twist.
